"ALUMINIUM is the best metal next to Gold & Platinum for cooking, it is even better than Silver" - British Medical Journal.

This authentic Black, Hard-Anodised Karahi is made from the highly conductive, pure virgin aluminium. It comes with a Stainless Steel lid. Now there is no over cooked or raw food even when the lid is on which retains the essential aroma of the food.

For the cook this means cooking in a pot that is more fuel efficient, scratch resistant, and a surface that will not be damaged by metallic spoons, and flexible metal spatulas.

The heavy gauge aluminium used allows even distribution of heat on the bottom and up the sides of the pots with no hot-spots. The surface does not interact with or alter the colour of food.

Its ultra smooth surface is extremely easy to clean and does not require any special maintenance.

The black plastic handles have been designed for durability and aesthetic value. They shall remain relatively cool during cooking.

Hard anodised aluminium cookware is NOT a coating, but an integral part of the metal, built up molecule by molecule to a thickness of more than 50 microns by a carefully controlled electrochemical process. This completely transforms the soft aluminium surface into an extremely stable and hard surface which is equivalent to the hardness of the precious stone, Sapphire (about 2.5 times harder than stainless steel).

These Hard Anodised Kadhai's not only cook excellently but look great too!!

The aluminium on each Karahi is 3mm thick

Lids (where supplied) are made from Stainless Steel.

Handles on No 16 & No 18 are very slightly different from picture.

As a guide, the No 12 Karahi is a similar size to a 12" wok... and No 18 has more than twice the capacity of the No 12...

To get the most from your Karahi:

Before using your Karahi for the first time, wash, rinse and dry each utensil thoroughly

Always select the appropriate size Karahi for the task in hand

Never heat the Karahi when it is empty

Do not put a hot Karahi under the tap

Ensure that the handle of the Karahi does not extend over another gas burner or heated surface

"Dear Spices of India, I ordered a variety of spices from you so I could cook some indian dishes from scratch for the very first time. I was extremely impressed with the range of products available on your site and at how easy it was to find what I needed - I would have never have been able to source them locally! Thanks for the excellent service and I will definitely be using you again."
